“Racial” Survivor Starts Today

20060824-cook_islands.jpgYou may have heard that the newest version of survivor is divided by race. The popular reality show, is going to start with 20 contestants, divided into 4 tribes. Each tribe consists of a different race. You have a White, Hispanic, Black and Asian tribe. A very controversial and bold move, people are afraid that viewers will also fall into this racial stereotype and “cheer” for their race. Seems like if it would reel in very high numbers for the TV show.

I am definitely watching it tonight. (8 pm ET)

Obviously I haven’t seen it yet, but I can bet that they Asians are the first ones out :P (no offense, I am viewing this on a purely physical way and I am saying this after seeing pictures of the contestants). If it works out, they should have a Middle Eastern tribe, I think we would do good :D

      Reality shows suck big time, like weird crap.
      Star Academy and whatever other crap was based on racial campaigns too, each one for their country voting, mostly I would think.

      The Survivor contestants all have a lot in common - they are self-absorbed narcissists who will do anything to get time on camera. They probably have more in common than the visible, race-oriented divisions. And since when was “latino” a race???
